Re: Sabre tooth

That a photo is not sharp does not necessarily mean its doomed. You tried to focus on the front but even the teeth and snout don't seem particularly well resolved - it might just be a tricky subject in the first place.

I like the crop - its an effective way of emphasising the ferocious face so I disagree with comments suggesting its too tight. Background is absolutely not needed here. If you were using a zoom lens you could have curled the barrel while snapping at a slowish exposure to really make it look like it's lunging at the camera. I think not being in focus is not a huge issue but it needs something to play on the ROAR factor so you're 100% thinking about how formidable it looks and not caring at all that you can't see every tastebud on the tongue.

Have a play is my advice.
